1 - A new day, a new plot, a new geom

Question #1

A new day, a new plot, a new geom. The goal of this exercise is to learn about a new type of plot (ridgeline plot) and to learn how to make it. Use the geom_density_ridges() function from the ggridges package to make a ridge plot of Airbnb review scores of Edinburgh neighborhoods. The neighborhoods should be ordered by their median review scores. The data can be found in the dsbox package, and it’s called edibnb. Also include an interpretation for your visualization. You should review feedback from your Homework 1 to make sure you capture anything you may have missed previously.

Interpretation The graph (Distribution of Airbnb Review Scores by Edinburgh Neighborhood) displays the distribution of Airbnb review scores across Edinburgh neighborhoods using ridgeline plots, with each neighborhood’s mean score marked by a diamond. The mean review scores are generally high, ranging from about 93.9 to 95.9. Some neighborhoods, like Morningside and Bruntsfield, show slightly higher average scores. The variation in score spread highlights differences in review consistency between neighborhoods, making it easier to compare where listings tend to receive better feedback.

5 - Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the ugliest of them all?

Question #5

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the ugliest of them all? Make a plot of the variables in the penguins dataset from the palmerpenguins package. Your plot should use at least two variables, but more is fine too. First, make the plot using the default theme and color scales. Then, update the plot to be as ugly as possible. You will probably want to play around with theme options, colors, fonts, etc. The ultimate goal is the ugliest possible plot, and the sky is the limit!
